As stated, i really don't care about the NFL


sure

But if you want to, please compare viewership, stadium crowds, merchandise sales, etc... for the past year.


I don't want to, but I'm sure someone will, because for some reason, many people are obsessed with this

Pretending the kneelers hasn't affected the NFL's bottom line is idiotic.


It is a variable. It isn't the variable.

All that tells me is there isn't shite on opposite football. Sunday afternoons and nights? What the hell else is there to watch on a Sunday?

That was until the poliboard realized the Saints had a good team and decided that kneeling wasn't such a big deal after all.

I've been a Nielsen guy twice but I don't think I'm very representative of TV viewing America.

I haven't watched a prime time big 3 network TV show since Green Acres was canceled in the 70s.

I haven't watched NFL football for at least 10 years now. I watch college football but the season is over.

My current most watched TV shows:

Good Eats ... Alton Brown
Mysteries at the Museum ... Don Wildman
Judge Judy
Turner Classic Movies

I wish I could find a channel with MST3K reruns.

and what were the numbers for the previous years like?

we need something to compare

That marked a 32 percent increase compared to 2016, when the NFL laid claim to 28 of the top 50 most-watched programs, and was flat versus the 37 top airings the league chalked up in the previous year.

Depressing this many Americans would still watch such openly anti-Americans.

Oh wait, Americans still watch CNN, ABC, NBC, ESPN and most every other channel has an anti-American lean so whats new.

to be fair, 2016 had the Olympics, which is what accounted for the lower number

And why would anybody be proud to say that anti-Americans have any following at all?

The kneelers are still douchebags, and NFL viewers know it.
I never saw anybody dispute this.

My question is, who are the bigger douchebags: the kneelers, or those who lost their shite over it?
